He was born in Manoguayabo, then part of Santo Domingo, D.N. (the capital city) and now part of Santo Domingo Province. He studied music at National Conservatory of Music in the Dominican Republic.
In the 70s, after his father left Los Compadres Guitar quartet, he formed his first group, Los Virtuosos, with his father as the lead singer. His father kept the group and renamed it as Cuco Valoy y Orquesta (Cuco Valoy and his Orchestra) where he hired singers Peter Cruz and Henry Garcia. Ramon Orlando went to form another group. Years later, Cuco Valoy group disintegrated and he moved to Colombia due to his political differences with then Dominican president Joaquin Balaguer. Ramon Orlando then went onto a more ambitious project. He and then famous merengue singers Peter Cruz and Henry Garcia formed La Orquesta Internacional (The International Orchestra), where he was supposed to be the composer and director whereas Cruz and Garcia were to be the singers. However, of the first ten single production, Ramon Orlando wanted to sing four of them himself, which caused the group to split. Peter Cruz and Henry Garcia formed their own groups which didn't last long. Ramon Orlando quickly hired a couple of boys with similar voice tones to Cruz' and Garcia's to interpret the songs already on the radio.
He was a nominee in the Latin Grammy Awards of 2005.

Lo que da pena de amor
No te duermas camarón es que te están vacilando
Que se te parezca tela
Bomba caram bomba caram bomba
Bomba caram bomba caram bomba
Cuando una mujer te diga papito te quiero tanto
No te duermas camarón es que te están vacilando
Bomba caram bomba caram bomba
Eehhh mi bomba
Bomba caram bomba caram bomba
Mi negra me dijo a mí no se corta con tijera
Todo lindo material que se te parezca tela
Bomba caram bomba caram bomba
Pero que buena es mi bomba
Bomba caram bomba caram bomba
No me vayas a dejar ni me cauces ya mas penas
Mira que voy a morir si te marchas y me dejas
Bomba caram bomba caram bomba
Pero que buena es mi bomba
Bomba caram bomba caram bomba
Quién tú quieres no te quiere apréndete corazón
Lo que da pena de amores lo que da pena de amor.(Bis)
Bomba caram bomba caram bomba
Eehhh mi bomba
Bomba caram bomba caram bomba
Cuando una mujer te diga papito te quiero tanto
No te duermas camarón es que te están vacilando
Bomba caram bomba caram bomba
Y mi bomba y mi bomba
Bomba caram bomba caram bomba
Bomba caram bomba caram bomba
Mi novia me dijo a mí no te vayas para el campo
Porque me vas a presionar y te voy a dar un palo
Bomba caram bomba caram bomba
Bomba caram bomba caram bomba
Lala Lalilala
Bomba caram bomba caram bomba
Y sabroso y sabroso
Bomba caram bomba caram bomba
Lala Lalilala
Bomba caram bomba caram bomba
Bomba caram sigue para abajo ahí
Quién tú quieres no te quiere apréndete corazón
Viene el mismo efecto
(Instrumental en voz de Ramón Orlando)
Quién tú quieres no te quiere apréndete corazón
Lo que da pena de amores lo que da pena de amor
Bomba caram bomba caram bomba
Quién tú quieres no te quiere apréndete corazón
Lo que da pena de amores lo que da pena de amor
The lyrics of Ramon Orlando's song Bomba Caram Bomba describe the plight of men who are unsuspectingly being played by women in romantic relationships. The phrases "Quién tú quieres no te quiere" ("Who you want doesn't want you") and "No te duermas camarón es que te están vacilando" ("Don't sleep, shrimp, they are fooling you") are cautionary to men who may be infatuated with someone who doesn't reciprocate their feelings. The repetition of "Bomba caram bomba" throughout the song is an expression of joy and excitement, and serves as a celebratory exclamation for the singer's "bomba," or good thing.
The second verse talks about a woman who warns the singer not to be fooled by appearances, cautioning him to not be enticed by a woman who is just like those who have tricked him in the past. The third verse shifts focus to the singer's own relationship, as he begs his lover not to leave him, admitting that he will be heartbroken if she does.
Overall, the song is a warning against naivete in romantic relationships, while also celebrating the joy of finding love.
